Después de haber perdido a su bebé, a su Henry, sin haberle dado la oportunidad de demostrarle cuánto lo podía haber querido, Kitty Wellington no consigue encontrar su camino. Mientras que su obsesión por los niños empieza a evidenciarse, intenta reconstruir su pasado. Su madre murió cuando ella tenía tres años, pero cuando Kitty pregunta sobre esto a su padre y a sus hermanos, la verdad se le escapa, contradictoria y confusa. Mientras se mueve sin destino, mientras pasa noches sin dormir, Kitty siente sólo a través de los colores: rojo para la vehemencia de su padre; amarillo para los niños que salen del colegio dando brincos; blanco y negro para su madre. Pero Kitty, con nombre de gato, una niña perdida ella misma, no sabe cómo reconciliarse con un mundo que parece haberla expulsado de su regazo.

In a disused lighthouse on the Devon coast lives Peter Straker, a recluse who, in his dreams, is visited by an oddly disparate group of people from a grandmother to a teenager. But they have all been dead for 24 years - and Straker thinks he killed them. Many years ago, newly-married Imogen Doody's husband went to work one day and never came back, leaving her angry at life and other people. Now Imogen has inherited a cottage near Straker's lighthouse, a piece of good fortune she badly needs. But the cottage is falling down, and she needs help restoring it... Guilt, emotional bruising and a Tiger Moth plane lie at the heart of this story of two misfits. Related with infectious warmth and wit, it is a testament to the essential goodness and resilience of the human spirit.
When the floods came

In a world prone to violent flooding, Britain, ravaged 20 years earlier by a deadly virus, has been largely cut off from the rest of the world. Survivors are few and far between, most of them infertile. Children, the only hope for the future, are a rare commodity. For 22-year-old Roza Polanski, life with her family in their isolated tower block is relatively comfortable. She's safe, happy enough. But when a stranger called Aashay Kent arrives, everything changes. At first he's a welcome addition, his magnetism drawing the Polanskis out of their shells, promising an alternative to a lonely existence. But Roza can't shake the feeling that there's more to Aashay than he's letting on. Is there more to life beyond their isolated bubble? Is it true that children are being kidnapped? And what will it cost to find out? Clare Morrall, author of the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted Astonishing Splashes of Colour, creates a startling vision of the future in a world not so very far from our own, and a thrilling story of suspense.
